Definitions

  • the present invention relates to providing a plurality of organic electroluminescent (EL) units to form a cascaded organic electroluminescent device.
  • EL organic electroluminescent
  • Organic electroluminescent (EL) devices or organic light-emitting devices are electronic devices that emit light in response to an applied potential.
  • the structure of an OLED comprises, in sequence, an anode, an organic EL medium, and a cathode.
  • the organic EL medium disposed between the anode and the cathode is commonly comprised of an organic hole-transporting layer (HTL) and an organic electron-transporting layer (ETL). Holes and electrons recombine and emit light in the ETL near the interface of HTL/ETL. Tang et al. [“Organic Electroluminescent Diodes”, Applied Physics Letters, 51, 913 (1987), and commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No.
  • the layer structures are denoted as HTL/LEL/ETL
  • HIL hole-injecting layer
  • EIL electron-injecting layer
  • HTL/LEL/ETL multilayer OLEDs that contain a hole-injecting layer (HIL), and/or an electron-injecting layer (EIL), and/or a hole-blocking layer, and/or an electron-blocking layer in the devices. These structures have further resulted in improved device performance.
  • stacked OLED or cascaded OLED
  • Forrest et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,703,436 and Burrows et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 6,274,980 disclosed their stacked OLEDs.
  • the stacked OLEDs are fabricated by vertically stacking several OLEDs, each independently emitting light of a different color or of the same color. They believe that by using their stacked OLED structure, full color emission devices with higher integrated density in the display could be made. However, each OLED unit in their devices needs a separate power source.
  • Tanaka et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 6,107,734 and Jones et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 6,337,492 proposed a stacked OLED structure by vertically stacking several OLEDs without individually addressing each OLED unit in the stack. Tanaka et al. indicated that their stacked structure could increase the luminance output or operational lifetime.
  • the aforementioned stacked OLEDs use metals, metal alloys, or other inorganic compounds as intermediate electrodes, with the electrical resistivity lower than 0.1 ⁇ -cm, to connect each individual OLED unit in the stacked OLED.
  • These device architectures present serious fabrication difficulties.
  • the fabrication of the intermediate electrodes such as an In—Zn—O oxide film or an In—Sn—O oxide film, is an ion-sputtering process. This method will cause damage on organic surfaces [Liao et al., “Ion-beam-induced surface damages on tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum”, Applied Physics Letters, 75, 1619 (1999)].
  • an intermediate electrode is a discontinuous layer, its carrier injecting ability will be inferior, rendering poor EL performance. If the intermediate electrode is a continuous thicker layer, it will have high lateral conductivity resulting in severe pixel cross-talk, and will have low optical transparency resulting in reduced light extraction. (Pixel cross-talk means that the pixels adjacent to a lit pixel emit unwanted light due to high lateral conductivity).
  • a shadow mask is used for pixelization of each intermediate electrode or an insulating layer is deposited to define each pixel on the substrate at an early step in the OLED fabrication. Both of the methods would be complicated, resulting in low production yield.
  • a cascaded organic electroluminescent device comprising:
  • organic electroluminescent units disposed between the anode and the cathode, wherein the organic electroluminescent units comprise at least a hole-transporting layer, an electron-transporting layer, and an electroluminescent zone formed between the hole-transporting layer and the electron-transporting layer wherein the physical spacing between adjacent electroluminescent zones is more than 90 nm;
  • a connecting unit disposed between each adjacent organic electroluminescent unit, wherein the connecting unit comprises, in sequence, an n-type doped organic layer and a p-type doped organic layer forming a transparent p-n junction structure wherein the resistivity of each of the doped layers is higher than 10 ⁇ -cm.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it enables a cascaded OLED to function with improved light extraction by adjusting the physical spacing between adjacent electroluminescent zones.
  • a further feature is that the thickness of the doped organic p-n junction structure can be adjusted to change the physical spacing between adjacent electroluminescent zones without significantly changing the driving voltage and the transparency in the emissive spectral range.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that it enables a cascaded OLED to function with a doped organic p-n junction structure, thereby simplifying the fabrication steps.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that it enables a cascaded OLED to function with a doped organic p-n junction structure, thereby reducing the fabrication cost and increasing the production yield.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the cascaded OLED provides significantly improved luminance efficiency compared to a conventional non-cascaded OLED.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the cascaded OLED has an increased brightness if operated under the same current as that of a conventional OLED.
  • Another advantage is that the cascaded OLED has an increased lifetime if operated under the same brightness as that of a conventional OLED.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the cascaded OLED can be operated with a single voltage source with only two electrical bus conductors connecting the device to an external circuit.
  • its device architecture is significantly less complex than those reported in the prior art.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that the cascaded OLED can have the emission color adjusted by mixing appropriate organic electroluminescent units for different color emissions.
